We mentioned last June that
Java-based office suite ThinkFree was
gearing up for a return from the
dead, and true to its word it's done so in the form of
ThinkFree Online, now
a web-based application suite. It touts a combination of AJAX and Java interfaces, wide support for Office file formats,
PDF generation, and collaboration features. PC World has a short writeup on the new ThinkFree that says it's
"impressive" and its word processor has "has all the features most people will ever need."
ExtremeTech has
a much longer review in which
they give it similar praise, but say it's "by no means as snappy" as a desktop app and that they would
"wait a bit before choosing ThinkFree as a company-standard business tool." ThinkFree does have the distrinct
advantage, however, of being free—ad-supported—and users get 1GB of space to use as they please.

I just signed up and it's horribly slow right now. Unusable slow. I hope this clears up sooner than later.
